Question

Answer the following questions based on figure 6.2: which type of radiation involves less energy, x-rays of microwaves? Which radiation has the higher frequency, radar or red light? Which radiation has the longer wavelength, ultraviolet or infrared light? Consider the colors of the visible spectrum. Which colors of light involve less energy than green light? Which colors of light has photons of greater energy, yellow or blue? Which color of light has the greater frequency, blue or green? Traffic signals are often now made of LEDs (lightemmiting diodes). Amber and green ones are pictured here. The light from an amber signal has a wavelength of 595 nm, and that from a green signal has a wavelength of 500 nm. Which has the higher frequency? Calculate the frequency of amber light. Suppose you are standing 225 m from a radio trans

Explanation / Answer

1a.

xrays have higher frequency therefore higher energy than microwaves

1b.

red light "visible light" has more energy than radar since frequnency is higher in visible light

1c.

UV has higher freqneucy than IR light, so IR must hav eloinger wavlenght (frenquecny = 1/WL)
